How long did your swelling last??

Hi there,

I finished rads on May 13th. Just curious if it is normal to still have so much swelling? It seems to just my breast and not my arm but it looks odd as its bigger than my good boob

JJOntario,

Your swelling can last a long time. At my last appointment my RO noted my breast was still slightly swollen and my last rads were over 3 years ago. I've had breast LE, but don't think it is active now.

My RO said it could last up to 5 years and if it didn't go by then, then it would more than likely be permanent and become a nuisancey thing...go figure

Talk about depressing...

Thank you for the replies. I had a friend actually notice the difference....I was told the colour change would also be permanent....ugh!!!
